Fantasy Gems are a new genre of video games that use artificial intelligence to create an entirely new gameplay experience. The technology can range from creating more realistic NPCs to using generative techniques to produce unique game worlds. While it may seem like a hyped-up sci-fi gimmick, it’s already having a significant impact on gaming.
AI can also be used to improve the physics in a game or ensure more accurate collision detection. It can also be used to analyze player feedback and churn rates to inform future gameplay decisions and content updates.
AI That Changes Character Voices Based on History
Generative AI is an area of particular interest to the gaming industry. The technology uses complex algorithms to systematically generate game content, often requiring little input from the developer. This reduces development time and frees up resources for other projects.
The resulting output can be very realistic and add a sense of immersion to the gameplay. It can also provide an extra layer of depth to a game world, making the characters feel more alive and natural.
In a real-time strategy game, the AI can be programmed to react in certain ways based on certain criteria. For example, if the AI notices that it is low on health, it might seek cover or take a defensive stance to protect itself.
While the increased use of AI is a positive development for many gamers, some are concerned that the technology will replace human artists. Jess, an experienced 2D artist at UK studio Sidequest Ninja, cites the recent backlash against online shooter The Finals for its use of synthesised voice lines as an example.…
